Is Anybody Else Worried?

Hi There  I am worried... Not the freak out....It's the end of the world😟😟😟😟... worried. Just worried. I have spoken to people who will never be the same; will never act "normal" again because of Covid19.  Will we ever hug, shake hands with people we are not that familiar with? How are we going to play sport? Rugby with 15 balls... Does not make sense? Will we become one of those Utopia Cities that everyone looks dull and the same and there are so many rules to keep us "safe".... But actually it is all about keeping control.... Like in the movies?  Who will safe us from that future??!! We all know it is bad because the city never wins in the movies...  I do not want a "new normal". I want "yeah we survived THAT", I want no fear of the person next to or behind you. No fear. To just live and maybe be more cautious and wash my hands more...  I am worried how this will influence sport, fitness and health. Because I believe sweat is good for y

Balance...

Hi There  Why is balance so hard?  As a Sport scientist, I think of balance as an physical act. Maybe an unconscious physical act. BUT EVERYTHING is a balancing act. Living a healthy style means a balanced lifestyle. Balanced in all aspect of human life. Our diet, work schedule, day to day, movement, etc... Why do we forget this? Why do we just focus on our diet and physicality when it comes to getting or being healthy?  No... Heath and being healthy means to be BALANCED in EVERY aspect of LIVING... Thus it is a journey. Something we work on every single day. Because we are MORE than the sum of our PARTS... We are more than just physical beings. To be truly healthy and balanced means mental health, emotional/spiritual health, social health  are ALL good and on the same level. This is hard to achieve because we CANNOT control all the aspects of our being and let's be honest life plays a role too... BUT... I want to start thinking and working on a BALANCED HEALTHY lifestyle. Start lo

What Happened !!

H i There  It feels totally unreal. I don't know what to say or even where to start. I had a plan. I wanted to build my blog and post regularly. I planned out my posts. I wrote them and scheduled them to go out automatically. I was so proud of how I started 2020 in a positive and with an actual path planned out. I NEVER do that. Usually the intent is there but never much action. This time there were both!!  WHAT HAPPENED.... Corona Virus... HAPPENED Novel - Corona Virus 19... HAPPENED Covid- 19... HAPPENED Covid SARS 2 ... HAPPENED Whatever you want to call it... IT HAPPENED  The whole world went on LOCK-DOWN.It is a world event that we will tell our kids about... The Pandemic that changed the world. That we lived through it.  With this I want to stay positive and I want to encourage you to take this time, this event, to remember what freedom means to us as beings and that our health should be the biggest and  most important investment you have to make! Keep Moving!! Jean-Marie'

Week 14 #2020 As simple as ... Breathing

Image
Hi There In today's society everything is so fast and the focus is more shallow. It is like we do not have time to dig deeper in the world and people around us. We live around each other. I have noticed that we even breathe shallow. After all it is easy and natural. Simple.  Bty breathing correctly we can lower our anxiety levels, feel calm and reduce our stress hormone levels  Here is a video that shows how to breathe correctly. This week let's just BREATHE. . WEEK 14 of #2020 What has been the most eye opening #2020Realization you have made so far? Are you learning anything? Are you making some changes? What do you do for fun?

Week 13 #2020 Getting OUT

Image
Hi There Before we move on. How fast has this year gone by? This is why I believe Health is a journey. It is something that we need to customise and personalise constantly. Some see this as a bad thing. But I see it as growth. We change constantly which is a good thing. Remember this is our goal to realize what we need to change. This is a good thing! I hope you had some fun Cardio DANCE sessions this week!! I hope you also had fun! Because if we are on this journey it should be fun!! We cannot just count calories and get sleep and ... and ....and... This is why we fall of the wagon. No, make it possible and make it fun!! This week let us go outside. Take 10 minutes where you just go outside, walk stand. Enjoy a cup of joe. Where I am it is still warm so love it. This is really hard for me to maintain when it gets colder, but I really try to spend at least 10 min outside.So get geared up for however the weather is and just BE outside.  . WEEK 13 of #2020 How was your Cardio Danc

Week 12 #2020 Ohhhhh I want to DANCE with somebody!!

Hi There Now this is where the fun starts. The real #Realization of changing how we look at EVERYTHING HEALTH. This is also the part I love. Because it is so much more than just being conscious of our sleep, diet and exercise. I also believe this is why we fail, because it starts as a to-do list. That is not how a healthy lifestyle works. Or even being happy works. It is a state of being. And that is what we are trying to achieve not the to-do list to get there!! Don't get me wrong; diet and sleep etc. are important and should be controlled but it is not the be-all of being healthy. If you follow this blog or my personal blog  you would know that I believe it is a journey to become and stay healthy.  This week I want you to DANCE as your "cardio" session. I want you to be creative. Grab your kids and make memories. Dance and jump with them on your favorite song and play it loud! Laugh at your own or their moves! Show them that Mom and Dad can have fun! Play one song, pl
